The Kremlin on Tuesday brushed off allegations that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is in a coma in a German hospital, was poisoned and said there have been no grounds for a criminal investigation so far because the politician's condition may have been triggered by other causes.

The insistence by the government that Navalny wasn't necessarily poisoned -- comments amplified by Russian doctors and pro-Kremlin media -- came a day after German doctors said tests indicated that he was poisoned and elicited outrage from Navalny's allies, who say the Kremlin was behind the illness of its most prominent critic.

Over the weekend he was transferred to the Charite hospital in Berlin, where doctors on Monday said they have found indications of "cholinesterase inhibitors" in his system. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun, who visited Russia on Tuesday and met with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, "expressed deep concern" about Navalny's condition and "the impact on Russian civil society of reports of his poisoning," according to a tweet by Rebecca Ross, spokeswoman at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

Doctors in Omsk, a city in Siberia where Navalny was first hospitalized, ruled out poisoning as a diagnosis 24 hours after the politician was admitted and said "a metabolic disorder" was a likely conclusion.
